RESENTS CRISIS ATTACK ON PAUL ROBESON Mr. Roy Wilkins, Editor, the Crisis, NAACP Headquarters 20 West 40th Street New York, N Y. My Dear Roy: I have remained silent as long as I possibly can- Your editorial about Robeson In the May issue of the Crisis just about hits bottom . . and as a loyal- active member of the NAACP I can no longer, with self respect, refrain from vio¬ lent protest. I no longer feel that you fellows do not deserve violent condemnation. It is my abiding conviction, after having traveled practical¬ ly the country over • . at least in the areas where the Negro population is concentrated, and after talking to hundreds of Negroes, that the NAACP is no longer best serving the people whom it was organized to serve, has been side tracked i serving the very interests it was organized to tight. The NAACP has been cst in its practices, in its vention tactics, in Its publica- lions, the Crisis, and in the pronouncements of its It has claimed that it was non- political while it carried on a. vigorous campaign for Democratic Party. It neled its speakers at its last na- convention with an eye U) S j >re ading Democratic ty propaganda, while protesting its lack of previous -knowledge as to the text of these ers, and it has used the to further this propaganda for the Democrats, and villify oth- er parties. Its National Officers have , . " C T y !n the virtues of f Truman and H Democratic Party ’while they vialenUy at/tacked d Republican and Progres- s j Ve parties, even to the extent, () j jyj n g on Henry Wallace- unfortunately the NAACP is being used to destroy progres- slve forces among the Negro people and meanwhile your en er gj es are being distracted from your ; main goal of fighting dis¬ rUnlnaUon and segregation. The people who put their money, t\np. energy and laf- fection into the NAACP do not wish to contribute to that type of activity- It is inexcusable for a pub- l'cation 1 ke the Crisis to be i.uilty of failing to avail itself of the ascertainable^ truth and repeating a mls-quotation so s to enable them to write the kind of editorial that satisfies the party of its allegiance. This, of course, is the evil that those who opposed the policy of the NAACP becoming a tool of the Party, or any oth¬ er party for that matter, as it has, hoped to have avoided. Roy, thc Negro people have so many battles to fight on so many fronts, and we so badly need unified action, that I for one, deeply deplore the Negro being more widely divided by the organization that should serve him as an agency of un¬ ity. Of course, your editorial is simply factually not true. The true quotation as surely must have come to your at¬ tention both from the Associ¬ ated Press (Parts) and the As¬ sociate Negro Press (Paris) fur- THE SAVAHHAH TRIHtOT nish absolutely no foundation for the statement that son claimed to represent any- body or that he claimed the Negro wouldn’t fight Russia. Robeson gave up his concert, radio, and stage career for al¬ most a year to go out and sing and . fight . . for , ,, the common pie Even school vnknni children -know that fact. Your attack on the Council on Airican Affairs strikes as strictly low brow- To say that Robeson has none except sentimental roots among American Negroes or that with his tremendous tal- ent and charms he could have J been his people, an outstanding is indication leader of of an the lack of willingness to face (the truth that startles me i Roy, the NAACP in 1945 gave Paul Robeson the .Qpingarn Medal ofr meritorious service j to his people, etc., etc. It is pretty difficult to figure out why the NAACP would award the Splngarn Medal to one with none except sentimental roots among American Negroes. j Nobody may have ever heard ; at around NAACP Headquarters Paul Robeson is recognized by the great masses of the Ne- gro people as more nCally their ideal leader all of the Walter Whites and Roy Wilkins' in the country j and he it. doesn't only the get klc-ks a dime of Ne- groes who ought to be appre b hjlvl n ’ The type of people who would fight for rights for Negroes are kind of people who ^end of the N A c p | Of course, faith ir g thc NAACP is waning.

They add a juicy freshness which is welcomed during winter months when many of the favorite fruits are absent from the market. * Fresh pears are coming onto the markets now in quantities from the fertile orchards of pear growers in Oregon, Washington and California. So popular have the varieties be¬ come. that pears, which are on the market during the winter months, are sold fresh in greater quantities than Bartlotts, including those for borne canning. The Bose, the fall russet pear. Is | first to make its appearance on the market, following soon after the Bartlett and other summer varieties arq marketed. Next in line is the Anjou, followed by the Comice and iNelis, completing the cycle for fresh pears on the market the year ’round. Pears have so many uses for out- [use jof hand for eating. school lunches Beside the and popular packed (lunches for workers, fresh pears /are good served as a breakfast fruit or a lunch dessert. They make an attractive buffet piece when dis¬ played in your prettiest bowl, and fare ready at all times for the pick-up. after school snack or mid-meal , As a bedtime snack, they have a I special appeal for they are refresh¬ without giving high caloric count before retiring.

Langston Prexy Admits R. E. Plan Has Its Good Points }n compliance with the order by Federal Judge H Church Ford that the state must admit Negroes to the university until it provides them with equal ed- ucational facilities.

In other words, the mere formal admission of colored students to' the university with¬ out equal educational opportu¬ nity inside the university is in fact hardly different from re¬ fusing them admission in the first place. No court would have difficulty in piercing that vel.” Ther-> are certain eases in which the races could bo taught and still have equal opportunity while in others it not be feasible. H’ said this factor could be judged only by competent educators, ___ The United States, Great Britain and Germany lead in the production of steel. notably copper iron. furnish quick energy with levulosi a form of sugar about twice a sweet as cane sugar. Despite the; luscious sweetness, pears are no high in calories, averaging 7 calories apiece. This is a definit advantage to those who want satis value. tying food that is low in calori^ j Unlike many other fruits, th'f color of pears is not always ait indication of ripeness. A simpl/1 way to determine ripeness is by the “touch test". When the peait flesh yields to gentle pressure. o| the thumb or finger, they are ready to be chilled for eating. Most markets have pears conditioned or pre-ripened before placing them out for sale, but if the pears at your store are more firm than is desired for eating, they may be ripened by allowing them to remain at room temperature a day or two. As soon as they become ready foj eating, they should be placed in Lha refrigerator to hold them. To show market the popularity during the of wintet pearsj on the doubled months, production has during the past eight years. Growers continue to improve tht quality of pears, and through th^ work of the Oregon Washington California Pear Bureau a program of conditioning and pre-ripeninq has been sponsored so pears now come to market ready to use. Theso improved pears have little resem* hi a nee to the hard pears of yestet' years, but are creamy white* fieshed, juicy, tender pears.

I contended at first that non-interference with the segregated pattern of educa¬ tion in the south would sim¬ ply perpetuate that pattern. But in the meantime the Uni iversity of Oklahoma and Ok¬ lahoma A. and M college have been required by law to open their doors to Negroes- At the same time they endorsed the regional plan so I have to mit that they were as good as their word when they said their plan was not designed to keep Negroes out of the white state schools. “I still insist that under the regional plan the schools be operated so that a Negro will be a first class citizen. That’s what is happening in Oklaho¬ ma now. Some 26 Negroes have applied to thc University of Oklahoma for summer school. “I was opposed to the plan in the beginning and I said so openly when Gov Caldwell came to Oklahoma to talk to the legislature for it. But I didn’t stay on the outside criticize, I kept going on thc inside to find out what going on- Some Negro educa- Gets Job On St. Louis Daily Paper I S't Louis (ANP)—ohn H.
